<<Non-Catholic Christians love to ignore this passage.>>

Well, Catholics love to ignore the rest of the Bible. I won't ignore James 2:20, if Catholics won't ignore the rest of the Bible. Heck, even if Catholics ignore it, I won't.

Who was James talking to?

James 1:1
1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting
KJV


I ain't scattered, I ain't abroad, and I ain't a tribe. Catholics love to ignore this verse. Then they love to quote James 2:20 without ever recognizing who James is talking to.

Catholics should realise what "good works" actually are.... They aren't what we do.... It's what Christ did.
